A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I always hit snooze on my alarm clock, but I jump right out of bed if I hear someone puking or gagging (e.g., kids or my dog).

I fear the result would be slower reactions for the real event.

The sound has to rotate randomly.

That’s a great idea. Maybe make it so you can load up as many customizable sounds as you like, and they randomly shuffle each time.

We should compile a playlist.

  • jackhammer
  • air raid siren*
  • trumpet reveille
  • taiko drumming
  • "eagle" (i.e. hawk) cry
  • monkeys screeching
  • Woody fuckin Woodpecker laugh
  • applause
  • theme from Rawhide

*maybe don't use this one in tornado country. Don't desensitize oneself to actual emergency warning tones.

  • “eagle” (i.e. actual) cry

Because it would be funny.
